The long awaited federal recognition of the tribe has exacerbated decades-old tensions and unearthed a history that will plague both the tribe and the town. The fates of Harold Jensen, a local cop, and Philip Kopus, a mesmerizing ex-con are once again inexorably tied as the relationship between their communities becomes increasingly volatile and outside forces try to exploit the tribe's newfound status for their own gains.

These trials take the form of threats to his family and tribe, both from outside and within. For Harold, he knows his wife Jean no longer sees him as the person he once was and so he strives to be promoted to captain of the police force, which he hopes will restore him in Jean's mind.
